Replying To TheFlaker: "Cost of living is going up up up and the national debt is skyrocketing . Can you actually point something out that's actually been good? Genuinely. Because even the ICE raids are out of control and unorganised." I'd say you'll be alright so don't worry, you can cry on here about something day in day out you're such a good lad.

He assisted in stopping the India Pakistan conflict escalating
While still not good he has certainly improved situation in palenstine.
Also deserves credit under his first term for keeping conflict to a minimum
Between his terms there was a shambles in Afghanistan Russia were able to invade Ukraine and Israel Palestine conflict deteriorated
But the fella who was at fault for that came over here and said mayo for sam so he's grand
Most of all he deserves credit for putting up with Rio Ferdinand Friday.
Now his list of failings are much greater eg weak with Israel & Russia to start
but the trump derangement syndrome crew ignore any positives

Replying To TheFlaker: "They have cancelled the jobs report, GDP report and now the inflation report. But the lads on here think everyone is out to get him. They are slowly trying to run television networks behind the scenes doing power deals.
Reporters are not allowed to ask questions, even really obvious ones pointing out clear issues. And then there's the hiring of the likes of Hegseth. It's not Trump derangement syndrome to highlight the mad stuff going on." Sounds a bit like Ireland tbh

Replying To Saynothing: "For putting America first. I'm no American fan but Trump deserves credit." I've no problem with America first but my god as you naive. Israel first would be more appropriate. Even his fan girl Taylor Greene has pulled back from him and sided with the dems on affordable healthcare.

Dara Ó Cinnéide made good point today about teams with smaller picks competing again big clubs who fill gaps with transfers.
Cuala didn't - all their own - but Boden have and its definitely unfair. Transfers are way too high. Needs to be limits, intra county as well as inter county.
This is undermining Dublin championship never mind nationally.
Boden would not be where they are without the transfers.

Replying To mick2007: "Hard work, lot of talent and huge numbers meant multiple titles.. a certain transfer 3 years ago ensured they stayed ahead of the pack, without that transfer they wouldn't have came out of the county never mind challenge for ulster over these last 3 years.. and before anyone jumps down my throat that's a truth and a sheer fact… aside from the fact that McCauge is a managerial genius performing miracles….." Nothing to do with transfers. Donal Morgan is the key component this year and the boys of '89 will be emulated

Tailteann Cup: Right To Scrap Group Stage? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Tacaí Liatroma: "Beannachtaí an tséasúir daoibh. One of the changes made to the championships for 2026 was to scrap the group stages for the All-Ireland series and make the first couple of rounds into a challenge to win two games before you lose two games, if that makes sense. Anyway. One of the reasons for this was the lack of jeopardy in the system that prevailed until now; you could fall over the line with one point after three games and find yourself still in the championship.
But they've installed the same new format into the 2026 Tailteann Cup as well. I think they should have left it alone. Here's why:
1. With the group stage, you got a minimum of three games. One of the things about the Tailteann Cup was a guaranteed amount of competitive games rather than the usual thrashing at the hands of Div 1 or 2 teams. Reducing it to two games is no good.
2. There was plenty of jeopardy in only finishing in third place in the group stages of the Tailteann Cup; only three third-place teams qualified! Last year Leitrim got the bogey prize, but they kept Antrim honest in their game against London, with Leitrim briefly placing ahead of them in the rankings for a couple of minutes in the second half of a strong showing against Tipperary, before Antrim got their shooting boots on and got a big enough win against London. Waterford and Tipperary missed out the other two years.
I think they should have left it alone. One more point: New York still make an appearance, and that's fine. They come in when there's eight home-based teams left, and they play one of the round 2A winners - those are the teams that have played two games and won them both. But wouldn't it have made more sense to get them to play one of the other teams? It's hardly a reward for a P2 W2 record that you have to play an extra game. (Although I will concede that it's a home game for the 2A winner (but not for London) on the same weekend as the Round 3 games so it's probably that way to save time, and it takes place two weeks after their last game, whereas the other 2A teams will have a three-week gap between their last game and the quarter finals. I've only just looked that up.)" Fully agree with this for the two reasons you gave, especially 2.
The change being made is right for the Sam Maguire championship but the TC teams especially need more summer games not less.

Replying To updwell: "Well everyone thought the Russians would overrun Ukraine in a month and 3 years later they've barely moved forward and when they do it's at the expense of thousands of Russians. As regards Zelenski not worrying about us on the contrary if the Russians aren't stopped now they will continue to roll westward and some day all of Europe will have to face up to Putin and we will need the help then." What's giving you the impression that it's Russia's intention to "roll further westward"

Because even the ICE raids are out of control and unorganised." Analysis will tell even the anti Trump brigade that America is booming from Trumps reelection. Dow Jones , jobs for Americans, tighter border controls, all things American. There is enough people like Trump in Irish and British politics.

Replying To Fionn: "Are they really 10/1.???
That is crazy.
If I was a betting man, which I am not, that would definitely be worth a flutter.
If they beat Boden, it would be nice for a club like Dingle to win it out." Ah you ve gone soft Fionn lol. Seriously though I agree it would be nice for a club like Dingle and manys a pint I had there.Great town for craic. They are 10/ 1 with Paddypower alright and Boden now hot favourites to win it out. Think Boden will beat Dingle easy tbh as surely Mark O Connor will be back in Oz and Dingle already missing their top midfielder Barry Dan O Sullivan with cruciate unless he back for january. If Boden were nt in it Id be rooting for Dingle altho Im a northsider lol. Enjoyable game yesterday and looking forward to Kilkoo v Scotstown next week.
